picket fence

Did you play with Kim Smith? A very underated player.! IMV

Gaaawd how some here like to pick scabs, fester and create more open wounds. We had our chance drafted an absolute Dud in Toumpas and blew to the shizen a golden opportunity. Horse has bolted GONE NEVER TO RETURN

Very tidy Daisy, very good indeed. Hnmm Federal League. I remember a Gun FF playing for Highett G Douthie. in the 70ts Was it the same Federal League? What was the team in VFA?

No Problem at all . Laugh away, not a bad effort though A premiership at Norwood a couple of years ago now this. Bet you would be chuffed to win a couple of flags if you had a career!

A bit like this bloke who was much maligned in his time at the Dees! Pictured as running out before Ovens and Murray GF 2017 where he kicked 8 goals. Not bad from the skipper! Ah, what might have been had he been given a sustained go Before, During and After for your perusal. Juice at his best!

So Crocosheeit media to be pursued for monies owed to The Ox and Finey! Hope the boys get every last penny owed to them!

Yeah shorten the field size? Just like the good old days of backyard footy with my mates playing 5 a side. Lets face it 1 Women's footy is a novelty where skill level apart from a very few exceptions is poor. 2 Any Average grade men's suburban side would beat any AFLX women's team Easily IMO

No the game is oversanitised already!

List decisions and fitness eh! Well Mark Neeld says Hi, as we still are yet to work out who voted for Jimmy the great! Fitness hnmm, Ok, a bit of Home grown nous from a pro tennis background might be great when adjudicating these decisions. After all, too many blokes with qualifications might be overkill. Good Luck Todd, May the force be with you!

Mate... don't buy in! I haven't coz I reckon we will finish 10th and blow another chance because of Bulltish loses to teams like Norf, Collingwood and an abysmal Freo! Relax, we will find ways to stuff it up yet again! Put hope into something real! I've heard the Real Easter Bunny will make an appearance this year!!

Well thanks for that Giles, in an alternate universe I spose celebrating this win in the cosmos of reality that the men's team has been very ordinary is a but a small consolation as you bask in the collective glory!

Yep!! but the "Politically Correct" and "Greens" would portray this as "Alice in Wonderland" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" all rolled into one Beautiful thing! Over and out!

Seriously??

Sheeit we are lauding one highlight in a "Blamange competition" give me a break!

Yeah, other than family and friends and AFL marketing does anyone really care?? Nup!

As he said himself, looking for wins to get to finals he came back too early. Now this really does beg the question. Who has the final say as to whether a player is fit or not?? I would suggest that the Medical Staff and fitness people should always have final say. Jack Viney played and the rest is History. I reckon the discussions then and now would make fascinating listening about this injury and the rehabilitation, not to mention possible ramifications for the future of complications or setbacks. As Jack Viney says the latest injury is located in a different part of the foot. However, as I have seen in the past injuries like this have a habit of leading to other injuries because of the overcompensation effect. Just my opinion!

Whats the matter, ain't got the [censored] to have a go??

Well now learned one. where do you see us finishing? Eh?

I can just see it! Season ending injury to .......... In this bulltish hybrid Carp!

Geelong have a top midfield and stuff all else apart from Taylor and occasional cameo from Hawkins!

I ate some humble pie with this kid last year and he definitely has improved. I hope the trend continues!

Look gents, not trying to draw any attention at all to myself just trying to present what I believe to be a realistic ladder appraisal for 2018. Only Demon Andrew and another I think saw fit to present an alternative! I am as passionate as the next Demonlander but , I am heavily Scared and Scarred of another false dawn built around the coulda, woulda, shoulda, actualization of the club! Happy for other posters to post an alternate ladder! Cheers PF

Crystal Ball? ... Could be some big news coming out of AFL House.

Nah mate just a realist! I'm all over false Dawns and [censored] Hype! Happy to be proven wrong , BUT! History would play out differently! How many years in the wilderness is it!?? 54 odd years? C'mon give me a break!

Let the season begin and revisit when appropriate. Happy to see what other Demonlanders predict as ladder. Please indulge!
